Planning and building here

Closing dates you can still act on, applications and decisions on the street, appeals, the protections that cover it, and the council's land and licensing papers.

Planning on this street

We have no planning applications or decisions for this street. That doesn’t mean nothing has happened here, only that the council’s weekly planning lists haven’t named it since our record starts on 21 April 2026.

Conservation, listed buildings and protected trees

None of the town’s 18 conservation areas reaches Faraday Drive as mapped.

Measured along the street’s line against the council’s boundaries. Whether a particular building is inside depends on where the boundary runs: each area’s page on the council’s site has its map. All 18 conservation areas

The council’s Article 4 direction on houses in multiple occupation covers the whole town (in force since 2 July 2012): turning a house into a shared house for three to six people needs planning permission. The council’s page ↗

Flood zones, the coast and protected nature

A street’s line is not an address. For a particular address, use the Environment Agency’s Check your long term flood risk ↗; for a planning site, its Flood map for planning ↗. Flood warnings in force now are on Live now.

Protected nature

No Site of Special Scientific Interest, Special Area of Conservation, Local Nature Reserve, ancient woodland or country park is within about 100 m of Faraday Drive’s line, and it is outside the High Weald National Landscape. Protected nature in Hastings

Who looks after this street

Not adopted. East Sussex County Council’s map names Faraday Drive but shows none of it as adopted, so the county doesn’t maintain it. It may be a private road or a private street (an unadopted highway): “Private streets are also known as unadopted public highways and are different to private roads. Private streets are also maintained by the owners rather than the County Council but are open to the public.” (the council’s page)

The county’s Highway Land Information Team answers questions about road adoption (highwaysearches@eastsussex.gov.uk, 01273 482 316).

From East Sussex County Council’s map of adopted roads, read 12 October 2026. © East Sussex County Council 2026. Only the street’s name and whether it is adopted are used: the county’s map is the record, and its Highway Land Information Team confirms a road’s status. Who looks after what

Every sale, with the address, is in the Land Registry's own search: Faraday Drive. House prices in Hastings, by year, kind of home and ward.

Contains HM Land Registry data © Crown copyright and database right 2026. This data is licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Standard sales only: the Land Registry's category A, "single residential property sold for value".

A sale reaches the register weeks or months after it completes, so the last few months to August 2026 are incomplete.
